Orlando – October 16, 2026 -- Florida's existing single-family home sales fell 3.5% year-over-year in September to 20,537 closings, the second straight month of annual declines, as higher mortgage rates halted the modest growth of the past 12 to 14 months, according to Florida Realtors.

Third-quarter sales hold flat for houses and rise for condos

Statewide existing single-family sales totaled 65,904 in the third quarter of 2026, up 0.2% from the same period a year earlier. Existing condo-townhouse sales reached 22,664, up 3.1%.

September condo-townhouse closings totaled 7,179, about level with September 2025 (-0.1%). Closed sales can occur 30 to 90-plus days after contracts are written, so the figures lag buyer activity.
